BTX Mining Manual

A manual for those who struggles setting up mining BTX.

Alert for Windows update 1709: In case you are using an Asrock motherboard, don't upgrade yet to the Windows Falls 1709. There is a big chance you will get error code 12 "Not enough resources" in device manager if you have more than two videocards. I'll keep you up to date.

Step 01

Head over to bitcore pool. In my case I clcik CCMINER because I have a NVIDIA card.

That brings me to Github. Be careful downloading software from shares from cloudstorage.

Step 03

There we find CCMINER v2.2.2. released 2 weeks ago. Sounds good.

Step 03a

If you have a newer card go to the CUDA 9 version. Check on the website of your manufacturer if you don't know it. (MSI GTX 1080 TI supports CUDA 9.) Next step is to check if you have the required driver:

Step 04

Right click on Start and then Device Manager

Step 05

In Device Manager click on Display Adapters

Step 06

Right-click on one your your graphic cards and then Properties.

Step 07

Click on tab called Driver and check the Driver version as showed. You can see this also in the software of your graphics card.

Step 08

in my case I choose for the 64-bit version and Cuda 9. If you have Windows - 32bit, you have to download x86. See: Start - Settings - Systeem - Info.

Step 09

A bar at te bottom of your browser will pop up. Click the arrow-up behind Save.

Step 10

Click: Save as...

Step 11

Select your downloads folder on the right. Or another place if you prefer.

Step 12

At the left-bottom you will see this filename. In my case it is recognized as a .7Z file because I have the 7-zip installed. Download here.

Step 13

Click Save.

Step 14

Windows Defender will scan the file.

Step 15

Click open folder.

Step 16

You will see the just downloaded file already selected in File explorer.

Click on 7-zip or similar. It depends what software you have installed to decompress .7z files.

Step 18

Extract it to a location where you can find it easily. I choose "Extract to ccminer x64 2.2.2" so it makes a new folder called ccminer x64 2.2.2.

Step 19

After Extracting press on F5 to refresh File explorer.

Step 20

Open the folder you just unzipped. Mine was ccminer-x642.2.2-cuda9

Step 21

Right-click on an empty area in the file-explorer to make a new txt-file

Step 22

A new Text Document will apear. Right click and choose Edit.

Step 23

Click Edit

Step 24

Notepad opens the document so we can put the command to start ccminer with our address and save it as a .bat file.

Step 25

Head over to the website to copy the command as shown in the image.

Step 26

You can select text, right click on it and choose for Copy to copy the text. You can also use Ctrl-C.

Step 27

Back to note pad where we can Right-Click and choose Paste.

Step 28

Notepad with the text pasted.

Step 29

Click the squares to maximize

Step 30

Open your Bitcore wallet. We definitely need our receive address.

Step 31

Click File - Receiving addresses.

Step 32

Select your address, right-click and Copy Address.

Step 33

Back in Notepad, select the wrong address, Right-Click and paste your own address.

Step 34

Like that. I clicked right and choose paste.

Step 35

File - Save as..

Step 36

Select the correct folder. It will look like this.

Step 37

Give it a name you like so you can remember it well. But don't save it yet.

Step 38

Click on Text Documents and Select All Files. Rename .txt to .bat as shown here.

Step 39

Choose for ANSI.

Step 39

Choose for ANSI.

Step 40

You see now your .bat file. In my case BTX_Minging.bat. Double click and enjoy.

Step 41

It Works! Mining starts.

Step 41

The cards are accepting jobs.

Step 42

Head back to the website, and in search you give in your receiving address.

Step 43

After a while you should see something like this. Double check your address. This is the default one. Leave it a few hours mining and look around on the website to familiarise with it. And meanwhile ... what about giving our Facebookpage a like?

I think that the filename (ccminer) is not spelled well in the .BAT – file. The filename and the name in the .BAT file has to be exact the same. You could copy the name of the miner in the file explorer and past it’s name in the .bat file.

Hi,
I am not sure if mining with AMD is the best choice, but you can use the SGminer software. It’s almost the same procedure, except that you put this in your .bat file:
sgminer.exe –kernel timetravel10 -o stratum+tcp://bitcorepool.cc:1111 -u 1NgZ7MjHmVUuuy2Y4UMxDaVm4Me3TcNMpt -p x -I 19.
Don’t forget to replace the 1NgZ7MjHmVUuuy2Y4UMxDaVm4Me3TcNMpt with your own address. ( Seem my manual here).
You can find the latest sgminer.exe on github.(see Google) (I don’t recommend to download elswhere unless you trust it).
